Each week, TSN. Durham Smythe Jersey .ca takes a look at the top storylines in the NFL and gives you all you need to know heading into Sundays action. All in! Cardinals get their divisional mettle tested in Seattle First off, let’s throw out the idea Arizona has cruised to their league-leading 9-1 record through an easy schedule. Amongst their nine victories are wins over five teams with winning records, three of which either lead or share the lead in their division. But they’ve yet to really get their hands dirty in their own division. Through the first 11 weeks of the season Arizona has only played San Francisco once and has yet to even see Seattle. That all changes this week; the Cardinals have three big divisional games in their last six weeks starting this Sunday against the Seahawks. Arizona is a good team, maybe even a very good team, but their divisional mettle has yet to have been tested. And with Drew Stanton behind centre the rest of the year, Sunday’s game against Seattle kicks off a stretch that will determine if the Cards can cope without Carson Palmer. Lions to crash back to earth in New England? Two division leaders face off Sunday at Gillette Stadium; one of which however, is a division leader in record only. No not the Falcons. The Detroit Lions have used as much good fortune as anything else to climb to the top of the NFC North. But if luck were to run out on the Lions, this will likely be the game. Joking aside, this could be a real offensive battle. With Reggie Bush expected back and Calvin Johnson still moderately healthy, Detroit could score some points. Matching up against Tom Brady, who has been fantastic since the media dared question if he was running out of gas, Rob Gronkowski, once again the league’s best tight end, and Jonas Grey, who might be a thing now, it’d be wise to take the over (weather permitting of course). Josh Gordon makes his highly anticipated return It’s a good time to be Brian Hoyer. Through 11 weeks of the season he has held off fan favourite Johnny Manziel to lead the Browns to a surprising 6-4 record; even if Cleveland brass perhaps foolishly does turn to Manziel at the end of the year, there are reports of several teams interested in his services; and now he gets his top receiver back. Josh Gordon wasn’t just good last season, he was the best. It’s great news for the Browns, whose top receiver heading into Week 12 is former Montreal Alouette Andrew Hawkins; and good news for football fans in general, who get to welcome back a superstar to their Sundays. Gordon led the league with 1,646 receiving yards last season – 303 of which came in the three games Hoyer started before getting injured. Gordon has reportedly been keeping in shape during his 10-game suspension; here’s hoping the Browns don’t handle him with kid gloves, easing him back into the lineup, and just let the superstar fly. To make matters more interesting, both the Falcons and Browns are clinging to playoff hopes, and a loss - more so for Cleveland than Atlanta - could end their postseason dreams. Packers-Vikings Round 2 Rivarly games, especially ones this heated, are always worth keeping an eye on and will have their spot in this column. But this one could be rough. The Packers beat the Vikings by 32 points in their first meeting and are arguably playing at a higher level coming into Round 2. Aaron Rodgers is closing the gap in the MVP race in a big way the past few weeks; he has more than 1,000 passing yards and 10 touchdowns in his last three games. Much like a Heisman hopeful uses out of conference games to pad his stats, so too could Rodgers against the Vikings. Chasing the Patriots, both Dolphins and Broncos eager for win The Dolphins and Broncos don’t have much in common this year but they are both chasing the New England Patriots. Miami’s race is of course for the AFC East, with the Dolphins currently a full two games behind. They do however, currently hold the season series with one game to go. Denver’s race is for the AFC in general, or more specifically the always coveted home field advantage throughout the playoffs. While Denver is just one game behind the Pats in their race, New England holds the tiebreaker making their situation nearly as desperate as Miami’s. Both teams have other reasons to want to win of course. The Dolphins are in the thick of the wildcard race while the Broncos will want to keep pace with the Kansas City Chiefs after they beat the Raiders on Thursday. Quentin Poling Jersey . Trailing 4-1 in the final set, Sharapova steadied her erratic service game and took command again to beat the 56th-ranked American 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 on clay at the Magic Box tennis centre. The ninth-ranked Russian looked to be cruising before McHale broke late in the second set to tie the match and then took her commanding lead in the final set after breaking Sharapova. Kalen Ballage Jersey . The Jets have now won three straight at home and four of the last five at the MTS Centre. After a scoreless first period, Brad Marchand scored his first goal in eight games eight seconds into the second. http://www.authenticdolphinsshopnfl.com/ .

The Raptors maintained their spot atop the Atlantic Friday after defeating the Wizards, 96-88, for their second win in a row.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The best thing about the early part of the NFL season is how quickly teams can change. Take the New York Giants as an example. Just a week ago, Tom Coughlins team was winless in its opening two games. Eli Manning was looking over the hill and uncomfortable in the new West Coast offence. The much-hyped defence had not recorded a turnover and there were visions of another 0-6 start and a third straight year out of the playoffs. Guess what? The Giants (2-2) have not only turned things around in the past five days with wins over Houston and Washington a€” a 45-14 decision on Thursday night a€” they are rolling. Manning is looking like a Super Bowl MVP again. Second-year tight end Larry Donnell has emerged as one of the biggest surprises in the league. The defence has had nine takeaways in the two wins as the defensive line has made life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. The turnaround has many jumping on the Giants bandwagon and Coughlin telling his players to relax. His message is simple. They are not as bad as they looked in losses to Detroit and Arizona and they are not as good as they looked lately. They are a .500 team. We have to continue that attitude about having that chip on our shoulder and having a lot to prove, Coughlin said Friday as his players prepared for a long weekend off. ... I do know this, that if we want to accomplish what we would like to, the improvement meter has to go up weekly. After being limited to 28 points in the first two games, Manning and company have gotten new co-ordinator Ben McAdoos offence in high gear, averaging 434 yards and 37.5 points the past two games. Manning has completed 49 of 67 passes for 535 yards, six touchdowns and an interception that wasnt his fault. The running game has produced 347 yards and Donnell has emerged a playmaker, leading the team with 25 catches for 236 yards and four touchdowns, three in the first half on Thursday night. No one likes to start 0-2, but two wins in a couple of days, four days, feels good, said Mannning, who is hitting almost 67 per cent of his passes this season. Dolphins Stitched Jerseys. Donnell has come out of nowhere to be his favourite target. The former Grambling State product has used his athleticism to become a hard matchup for opponents. He works his butt off, said safety Quintin Demps, who replaced Stevie Brown in the starting lineup and had an interception. He deserves it. Eli did a good job putting the balls where they had to be. He deserves it. Hes a good player and hes only going to get better. The defence has been outstanding, taking the ball away nine times, with seven setting up drives that started in the opposition territory. In the past two games, New York has started 10 drives inside its opponents territory, while neither the Texans nor Redskins started a drive in Giants territory in those games. We have always known the potential that has been on this team and with the leaders we have, cornerback Prince Amukamara said. I am just glad that no one kept their head down and everyone just kept with it when we were 0-2. I know it is easy to get down on yourself when you lose games, but we knew the games we lost, the other team made plays, but we definitely were our own worst enemy with the penalties and assignment busts. We knew that if we eliminated all those things wed have a great chance to win ball games. The Giants wont play again until they face the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 5 at MetLife Stadium. The schedule through Thanksgiving is tough with Philadelphia, Dallas, Indianapolis, Seattle and San Francisco on tap. I think that we all knew this thing was going to click at some point and we were taking steps as the early part of the season went on, the first two games went on, said receiver Victor Cruz, who has had 100-yard receiving games the past two games. You could see the progression in our offence and it was just a matter of when it was going to happen. We kicked up right at the right time in order for us to keep our goals in task and continue to head in the right direction.
